Tho Jewish Day of Atoncment, the tenth
day after the New Year, commenced last
Tuesday evening after sunset and was
duly celebrated i'll this city IN aceMtiunce
with the time honored custom of that race
Services were conducted at the Synagogue
Tuesday evening by Mr.. J. l.. kaliski and
on "Wednesday he was assisted by Aessrs.
Ben Hcidingsteld, Solomon Meyer, Jonas
Meyer and Hip Marx. All the business
houses of our Jewish friends were closed
during the services, the day being spent III
fasting and worship.
The jewish Spectator, published at Mem
phis, speaking of the bay of .Atonen,ent
says:
"fom Hakippnriin is an eloquent wit
ness to tho fact that modern Israel is loyal
to the lofty ideas he is to represent in re-
liglon and ethics. In ancient times the
gorgeous Temple in Jerusalem and its
50 redotal polity invested the day with
great solemnity and splendor. Temple
and sacrifices and priests are no more, and
yet tho day has lost nothing OF its sanctity
and influence by the progress and changes
OF centuries that have passed. This parpe-
tuity of an observance on tho part Of a
people tina! wandered into all lands in little
bands SO small rs to he mere specks in the
ocean of populous communities. is reli-
gious phenomenon that reveals the marvel
Gus power and conservation of energy"
of mans loyalty to eternal ideas and prin-
cirles. Freedom Of will, tho excited rela-
tions OF man 10 his heavenly Father, re-
denIption from sin by true repentance
without requiring yicarious atonement,
conformity ofhunan conduct to the moral
law, Tho practice of selfdenial in the strus-
gle of good over evil-these arc tho ideas
which Yom Kippurim represents and in
terprets. and it is the unswerving loyalty
of Israel to these ideas which causes our
people to regard the day of atonement with
tho greatest veneralion, and to celebrate
it as the most solemn of all tho holidays i'll
the year. 1t is to him All oasis in the arid
Sahara of religious indifference. 1t is Il
jubilee of redemption to the sinful and sor-
rowful. 1t is the annual feast of reunion
and fellowship to the house of Israel in The
temple of the Ono God.

A story Of the Toilet.

It is reported of pretty ParisienAe
who was in the habit of withdrawing
herself, so to speak, from the soles Oh
her feet to the roots of her hair with
chemically prepared cosmetics, that
she took medicated bath one day and
emerged as black as ink. Mortified,
she sent for her doctor. On seeing her
he laughed as though he would never
stop, but at last found voice to say:
MADAM, you are not ill; you are a
chemical product. You are no longer
q woman, but 'sulphide.' 1t is not
now question of medical treatment,
but simple chemical reaction. shall
subject you to bath of sulphuric acid
diluted with water. The acid will have
the honor of combining with you, it
will take up the sulphur, the metal
will produce 'sulphate,' and we shall
find as 'precipitate' very pretty wo-
man." The doctor went through with
his reaction, and the "belle" was re-
stored to her membership with the
white race.

Marrying for Money.

For lovers, who love because they
love, this paper is not written. They
are what they are. They do not reason
and cannot be reasoned with. Their
passion is blind force which attracts
them together as Saturn's moons are
attracted to SATURDAY an occult and
invisible compulsion which can neither
be seen, nor felt, nor tasted, nor de-
scribed. They are a theme for poets
and drcamers, and not for common,
sensible, workaday people like the
writer and reader. Have done with
them.
But thele are people who get mar
ried as they join the church, OF choose
vocation, or enter upon hazardous
undertaking. They look around them
and examine into the condition of holy
weilock as it is among their acquaint-
ances, friends, and kinsfolk. Having
"cut their eye teeth, they brush the
bloom from the cheek Of the peach be-

She Undes:st00d.

A man having large business inter-
ests and a handsome income married a
lady who, accustomed all her previous
life to the luxuries of wealth, had never
formed any clear conception of the
value and purchasing power of money.
For some months every whim, no mat
ter how extravagant, was promptly
gratifed by the indulgent husband,
who always gave his check for any
amount of money asked. One day the
bride of few months, to carry out
some caprice, requested check for so
large sum that the gentleman was
somewhat staggered thereby. He saw
that such prodigality, if persisted in,
meant ruin; but, notwishing to grieye
his wife by downright refusal, he de.
termined to give her an object lesson in
the financial line. Accordingly, with a
smile Of seeming acquiescence, he re-
marked that the supply of checks was
exhausted, but he would send up the
money from the Office. About noon the
promised money came, not in crisp
$500 bills, as was expected, but in ster-
ling silver dollars, the sum total filling
several specie bags. The wife was at
first vexed and then amused, and
finally before the afternoon wore away
became deeply thoughtful. When her
better-half came home to supper she
took him gently by the arm, and, lead
ing him into the hall where the ponder
Gus bags of specie were still standing,
said
"My dear, is this the money I asked
you for this morning?"
"lt is, my love-" was the reply.
"And did you have to take this all
in, dollar by dollar, in the course of
your business?" was the next ques-
ton.

suits of many weeks of hard labor, he
answered gently.
"Well, then," she said, with fearful
eyes, "send around a man to take it

Il GRUEF OLD FELLOW,

On railway train, woman, pale
and care-worn, sat holding fretful
child. "Hush now; don't cry" she
said, pressing her face against the
child's face. "That awful man"
meaning gruff old fellow who sat
near-"will come over here and snap
our heads of. just look what an awful
face he is making at us. Please don't
cry and Well see papa after while. Oh,
mercy, he is coming" she said as the
gruff-looking old fellow approached
her.
II can't make her hush, SIR" she
said pleadingly. II know that it's very
annoying. but I really can't help it."
"Let me take her."
The woman fearing to disobey, suf-
fered him to take the child, who, too
much astonished to cry, meekly sub
mitted. The gruff man walked up and
down the car, and once the tremulous
woman fancied that she saw him press
the child to his bosom. When he re-
turned the little girl to her mother. the
woman asked:
Are you fond Of children, sir?"
"I-I-hardly know" he replied,
looking away. II suppose I am. I
loved-I say received dispatch this
morning telling me that my little girl
is dead"
He sat down, and a moment later, a
woman who had just got on the train,
turned to a companion and said:
Gracious me, just look at that gruff
old fellow. Wouldn't have Linn to spaek
to me for the world. "--Arkansa,p
